In Loving Memory of

Cosme Serda

September 27, 1947 - September 1, 2026

Cosme Serda, 78, passed away peacefully on September 1, 2026.

Cosme Serda was a Chicano from Lozano, Texas. To some, he was Bobby and once, he was Consume Serrada. Cosme was born, in his words, "in a hutch" his parents built between Rio Hondo y Lozano, Texas. He was born on September 27, 1947, and was the sixth child born to Guadalupe Guajardo Serda and Marcos Serda. Cosme was the youngest child of a family of migrant workers who collectively supported him after their father Marcos declared Cosme would be the first of their family to earn a high school diploma. Cosme graduated from Rio Hondo High School in 1967 and was offered a scholarship to play football at Texas Southwest Texas State College, now Texas State University in San Marcos. Cosme did not take the university up on its offer and instead enlisted in the U. S. Army with aspirations of becoming an airborne ranger fighting in Vietnam. Instead, the army sent him to Germany where he became a medic and a member of the Third Armored Division. Upon returning home, Cosme became an LVN and subsequently, met his wife, Nuha Aboumrad Serda, whom he married in 1974. Cosme and Nuha have four children of whom Cosme is incredibly proud.

Cosme Serda is survived by his wife, Nuha, their daughter Nuha, twins Abdo, Dalel, and youngest Yamile, his son-in-law, Ben Shrubsall, and by their adopted children Alfredo and Nelly Sardina. Cosme is also survived by his son-in-law Abram and Nuha's children, Anthony, Lila, and Thomas and by Dalel and Ben's children, Phoenix and Anika. We cannot name all of the people who Cosme loved so we ask that you please know who you are. Cosme loved you.

Cosme spent his last summer days beside his children, his five grandchildren, his devoted wife, and friends. He had an incredible life that began in his beloved fields of El Campo and on the bed of his family's F150 as they drove to the fields of Califas. Cosme was a man who taught his children how to play kick the can, appreciate good music, and who had a transcendent aura of cool and humor that followed him right down to his last living breath.

Cosme asked that this obituary have details people who knew him recognized. We trust you out there will. Cosme gave his life to others. He was a nurse in retirement, a guitarist, a newly minted accordion player, a member of the Narciso Martinez Conjunto Festival, a Lions Club member, and always a family man. If you were his family's friend, you too were family.

The Serda's will receive friends and family on Sunday, September 6, 2026, visitation to begin at 3:00 p.m. with a Eulogy followed by a Rosario at 7:00 p.m. at Trinity Funeral Chapel of the Holy Spirit.

In lieu of flowers, and in the name of our father, Cosme Serda , we ask that you cherish your loved ones and take nothing for granted. We ask you to enact love. Come dressed colorfully as Cosme wanted his life celebrated. We thank you in advance.
